The article stated how Mr Wheeldon a 30-year-old chef suffered a severe allergic reaction when he came into contact with nuts while at work. Mr Wealden did not return to work however he did bring a number of disability discrimination claims against his employer arguing that he had no choice but to come into contact with the nuts.
